I am in agreement with you. Sorry,I felt too carried away with the Story2 presented and missed your question.Competition,Lack of awareness,all have their role to play,but,majorly conscience has partly gone a little numb somewhere and as as you say, we do not want to hurt our super ego,for being a cheater. And yes,a little bit of corruption,is now ethically acceptable.Even semiconductors behave well when doped moderately :-) Very true Swapnil. I am in agreement with you.

If you look at roads, the way vehicles are parked around the signals also tells you how people cheat in generally. The basic situation here is the fact that 'do we feel we are cheating?' and we do it only till the time we do not feel we are. We do not want to hurt our super ego for being a cheater.

It is no wonder that corporates are cautious about these facts and will come up with a ready mitigation.

However I am bit confused about the task RCA analysis in Incident Management Scope. I agree Incident Management gathers necessary stuff which will help RCA Analysis. As a matter of fact, Incident management should initiate/raise a problem record with all these details. From there on Problem Management should be able to devout their entire expertise and time in RCA analysis and find a Preventative/Corrective actions. Raise a Known Error Record and it would be ideal for them to communicate to Incident Management and Service Desk so they can have their database updated. During this phase, according to RACI matrix Incident Management may be in either CONSULT or INFORM or both. Problem Management main scope is to find the unknown cause of a Problem. RCA is used as a tool to find the unknown cause. Hence the RESPONSIBILTY and ACCOUNTABILITY lies with them. Hello,
